Chapter 7

That night, I cleaned the villa from top to bottom, packed up my bags, and sent them off via international shipping, wiping away every last sign that I'd ever lived there.

Since Elwood wasn't around, everything went smoothly without a single snag.

Then I followed up with the company to confirm my new ID, phone number, and flight for tomorrow.

A brand-new life was just ahead, and for the first time in forever, a real smile crept across my face.

The next day, Elwood showed up late.

To his own damn wedding.

He must've gone overboard partying the night before.
